Third Times the Charm!

[Jher]

Im determined this time to do it right and stick with it. Ive done Atkins twice in the past with great results.

The first time I lost 50 lbs after three kids but put it all back on since I decided that I had lost the weight and could relax and enjoy being much thinner. Pigging out on sugar after losing the weight is kinda overdoing the relaxing, so needless to say I packed it all right back on.

Two years ago I lost 40 lbs but the same thing happened and now its back. I think I just came to the realization that this is going to be a way of life and not just a part time thing. (The book and everyone said it but it just didnt sink into my hard head) Yay for being stubborn and wanting your own way!

This time will be different. The first day has been rough because I wasnt as prepared as I should have been. My trips to the store the last two days werent planned well so I ended up with some things I need but not others, leaving me limited food to take to work today but if I can make it til I get home I think Ill be okay

After finding this website late yesterday im really excited about this third try. There is so much useful information here and it helps to know that "induction flu" is real along with other things that ive always wondered about. The first two times I thought it was all in my head, this time I have information to fight it head on along with seeing posts of some of the other things ive been doing wrong in the past. I cant wait to really get into induction and feel better.

Wish me luck!

Good Luck..... This is my second time around. I lost 20 lbs about a year and a half ago. So many things were going on with a new job, new boyfriend, moving, etc. I just stopped caring about what I ate - and so many people are anti Atkins and telling me I wasn't fat and what a horrible diet they thought it was. I wasn't fat because I was on Atkins and frankly, I love eating this way. This is day 11 for me and I feel better already. I have 30 lbs to lose but I really don't want to get near a scale for at least a few weeks. I remember it takes me about a month to start losing pounds. No matter. It'll come off. I'll look forward to seeing your posts and how you progress. Really. Good luck to you. By summer we'll be thinner and more energenic. I'm looking forward to it.
